Well, the package will already have that problem.  This is the prettiest 
I could make cleaning up the version::

%define nonnumeric_relstring a0.dev-r2303
Name: python-ruledispatch
Version: 0.5
Release: 0.1.%{nonnumeric_relstring}
Provides: pythonegg(RuleDispatch) = %{version}%{nonnumeric_relstring}

Since the script Dave provided makes constructs the Provides line for 
us, using the script with these kinds of versions doesn't really make 
our lives harder.
